    And the film "Tsukiji Wonderland"
    Script:
    Our story begins 561 years ago when a samurai warrior built a castle on the shore of a fishing village called Edo. Its rich soil was ideal for growing rice and attracted farmers from far and wide.
    In 1600, the great commander Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Battle of Sekigahara, a pivotal moment in history that secured Edo’s status as the most important place in Japan.
    Unfortunately, the buildings of the expanding city were made of wood and paper, a dangerous combination to confront the warm winds of summer. Legend has it that on one particularly dry afternoon in 1657, a priest made the deadly mistake of burning an unlucky kimono. The fire flared up, ignited his temple, and engulfed 70% of the city. 100,000 people lost their lives.
    Despite the disaster, by the middle of the 19th century Edo’s population was in the millions. That’s when the military shogunate system that had ruled for almost 700 years ended. A new government led by a young emperor finally made Edo the official capital of Japan, renamed it Tokyo.
    Today, a century of conservation has resulted in parks covering 20% of the land in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

      You should NOT spread racial hatred based on lies.
      If you read newspaper of at the time of Great Kanto Earthquake, you will see tons of articles of Koreans killing, raping, robbing Japanese and setting fires on houses in various parts of the Kanto region.
      The Japanese formed vigilante groups.
      Didn't you see what happened after Great East Japan Earthquake? You think that is something that people can do all of sudden?
      The Japanese has been doing that for tens of thousands of years. Why all of sudden kill Koreans? You think they even have time to do that?
      You are spreading hatred based on Korean lies. They are professional victims. It is about the time the world should know that.

      One of the most attractive thing in Tokyo or in Japan is the 24 hours convenient shop culture, those small scale shops are distributed everywhere in Tokyo and they sell all kinds of food especially for its ready-to-eat banto....That tastes amazing and sometimes even better than the restaurant food.....You can have a good meal in a shop around your home any time within a day with a relatively low expenditure. Even in the midnight, if you want to find some food to eat, just go out and enjoy the snacks and bento with an lovely and warming packing......

    Hi all! You may be wondering why I hadn't published in a while.
    After creating videos full-time on RUclips for the last decade, I needed to take some time away to - among other things - strategize about how best to move forward.
    My commitment to telling stories through video never wavered, but I realized it was time to learn new editing/creative skills--mainly the Adobe CC suite, which I used for the first time to make this video.

      Seem like you wrote so many very negative/hateful comments toward Japanese under this video comment section. I won’t blame/ try to change your opinion, but you may be hurting some Japanese people feeling. If you are hating Japanese, it’s better that you won’t watch any Japanese related videos bc it will give you discomfort/anger and that’s not good for you.

      and don't bother me with redundant arguments like "people are like that everywhere" or "it's your fault."
      japan is truly the land of excessive tatemae, under the slightest pretext.
      that's why people who say we should learn things from them anger me off so much. Filipinos and many Chinese make more effort to understand Westerners. i appreciate japan for its natural beauty, but its people aren't remarkably good.

    Tokyo is an amazing city, you will hardly see any bins on the road yet this is one of the cleanest locations I've been to in the world. Also, the people there are so lovely and so willing to help even if your Japanese is non existent. Other cities need to seriously take a page out of Tokyo's book if they want to better their society.

    • @raifikarj6698

      @Ken narville also There is many different population with different thinking and attitude. Singapore, Germany, France, UK, Italy, America, Arab Saudi, China. Each country have different mindset, some are one race supremacy other is all race equality. What is the most important is you cannot impose a different value immediately to other country it was a long game and each of it has advantages and disadvantage. You cannot denyng that world is divided by race because how different race has different thinking because accumulating moral, rule, history and knowledge of them.

      saifis Drunk people are around the world, yes. But you forgot the differences in people’s behavior around the world. Japanese are usually (not all of them, of course) more polite, self-aware, considerate, and law-abiding than many Americans. That’s not to say ALL Americans are inconsiderate law-breaking criminals. That’s simply not true. But it is factually and statistically accurate to say the Japanese are more considerate and law-abiding than their American counterpart.
